The attention of Headquarters 6 Division, Nigerian Army, has been drawn to a circulating social media publication alleging internal power struggles, welfare neglect, and financial exploitation within 90 Battalion, Koko. While the Division ordinarily would not respond to baseless online commentary, it is necessary to correct the deliberate misinformation aimed at undermining the command structure of the Battalion.
For clarity, postings and deployments in the Nigerian Army are routine administrative exercises conducted strictly in line with professionalism and without regard to religion, loyalty, or any other primordial considerations, as falsely alleged. Claims suggesting that the Battalion deploys personnel based on such factors are not only unfounded but malicious—clearly intended as an act of institutional blackmail.
The Nigerian Army remains a disciplined and professional force with zero tolerance for corruption, welfare abuse, religious bias, or any form of misconduct. The Commanding Officer of 90 Battalion has continued to discharge his responsibilities with professionalism and commitment within the limits of available resources.
It must also be emphasized that the Nigerian Army has established channels for addressing administrative concerns and grievances at all levels, including the Battalion. Any personnel bypassing these legitimate procedures and resorting to sensationalism or external agitation are engaging in acts tantamount to institutional blackmail. Nonetheless, where genuine infractions are identified, they will be duly investigated.
The public is urged to dismiss the unverified allegations and remain assured that any credible report—particularly those involving extortion—will be thoroughly investigated. The good people of the Niger Delta Region are further reassured of the Division’s unwavering commitment to maintaining peace, security, and the safety of all residents.
